convention or some old thing it isjust as well to put on your mackintosh mack-intosh and renew that policy There is a rumor that the stockmen will spend a little money on this occasion and some of them have been known to utter cries when they feel It Is their light to howl This Is their week to howl in Salt Lake and every one oCt oC-t 1em la promoted to be a coyote in advance The town is theirs

of the Grout olcoinr f garlnc bill promises to be the feature of the convention and a hot time is S p expected when the matter mcs up for j consideration The question will be Introduced o troduced In a resolution by Col John prfIiFFi Hobbs editor oC the National Pro ili4 I Isloncr of New York Wednesday cr f I Afternoon nnd the consensus of opinion I ii I 01 f the delegates now h in i Salt Lake la hat the Grout bill will be turned down I and turned down hard by an over anted tyvhclmlng vote The Grout bill Is re rTJT carded us in effect killing thd oleomargarine Industry by Imp oblng a tax offMconts a pound on colored olco naI annc The stockmen not the cattlemen I c cat-tlemen alone are after that bill and i fare after It for true The matter will cv probably Involve a resolution not com r c TpllmcntlnK Secretary at Agriculture I I 5 tWllson for recently appearing before i t the Senate Committee on Agriculture ti 44i I i land urging the pa sage of the Grout U ii bill Secretary Wilson took the ground I 1 v that the bill would be of benefit to the 0 I I farmers and said he could not see AZ l whore It would Inlure the beet interests e t t This action of his enraged the delegates I A when they read the report of It He d i may take as much Interest in the Grout fJ bill as he wants to said a prominent vA l1 I member of the association yesterday 1i4 tl S tbut when an official of the Goyern 1 I nicnt Jumps out of his office to lobby I for class legislation It Is pretty near II 6 I 4fk I time ho was called down and unless i t l ih1 EBomcthlng gives way we shall hand him t our respects as hard as we can When j I Jl ho Bays it does not affect the cattle 1 Industry he dont know what he Is I 4bf Balking about thats alL Why it would take away the market for the olco oil j 1 oqcI which would mean an annual loss of 7 tI 00000000 to the IlvcHtock Industry vt i5 H would alRO have the effect of maklngi i t butter go to such a price that no poor I Jinan rould afford the luxury and would I 1w0 to cont ont himself with lard It I Iwoukl benefit only the dairymen itS ne It-S lintcrcBts other than cattlemen it < jOur t r moans 30 cents less for cach hog that Is killed Cottonseed oil is also used In the manufacture of oleomargarine The manufactured product is as pure as creamery butter and when they try to kill that Industry they are striking a I blow at the livestock interests which we cannot overlook and which we shall not overlook President Springer when shown the report of Secretary Wilsons appearance appear-ance before the Senate committee whistled long and loud l and put the clipping in his pocket Later he was I d S i President Springer Woiildnt that r knock you cold I quoted as saying Only wait until we get to that resolution We will hand that gentleman something and it will I bo the hot end of a poker Other prominent stockmen were cciually pronounced pro-nounced in their expressions and if Mrx Wilson could hear all that some of the I stockmen arc saying and thinking about him he would have a sinking spelt The executive committee has been asked for some time to allow auxiliary or Individual memberships At the executive ex-ecutive committee meeting today this will probably be recommended with certain restrictions Individual memberships mem-berships will not bo permitted where a local organization exists but if a stockman stock-man lives where there is no local livestock live-stock association he may obtain one of these auxiliary memberships The con slllullon will also probably beamended so as to permit Canadian and Mexican associations to become members The association will doubtless hold that a boundary line should not preclude next door neighbors from taking part in matters which affect their interests In common with those of people in this I country Steps toward having = the Government take an annual classified livestock census Instead of once In ten years as now will also ber taken The conditions obtaining1 in livestock inlcrosls change BO rapidly that a census every ten years docs not suffice The livestock Interests of the country are three times an extensive and valuable as the grain interests and yet while the Agricultural Agricul-tural department has a system by which It can determine how much grain there Is In the country before the crop Is harvested J the livestock I Industry must go ten years under the present system without a report The nssoclatlon will also consider the matter of abolishing State inspection In favor of Federal Inspection and it willS will-S fst JS 5l 1 Ed H Davis a Utah Dslcgate doubtless declare unanimously In favor of Federal Inspection Under the system sys-tem of State Inspection a bill of health will only 1 hold ood within the confines of a State and a shipment is liable ty be held up at every State line whereas under a system of Federal Inspection an inspectors bill of health would hold good all over the country The woolmen will ask for a continuance continu-ance of the tariff on wooland Federal inspection of manufactured goods tagging tag-ging every article do as to show whether it Is manufactured from wool or shoddy also the throwing open of I the Government forest reserves to i sheepgrazing and other matters of import Im-port to the woolgrowers I The horaemen will ask that the Government I Gov-ernment continue Its practice of accept Injr for Government use branded horses I Prior to the CUban war the Government Govern-ment would not accepfbrandcd horses Continued on Pago o I READY FOR CONVENTION 1 Continued from page 1 Tho great demand at that time made It necessary to abrogate this rule and the horsemen want the new rule continued The hograisers will ask that tho Bureau Bu-reau of Animal Industry continue its Investigations of hog cholera and other diseases of the hog in the Interests of the raisers of those muchabused anl nut is nlalshe department at Washington haS alVaya shown a willingness to do all that has been asked of it but the superabundance of red aIe makes It necessary to ask for everything you want before the departments can do anything The convention accordingly will ask for all it wants The association will ask for an I amendment of the twentyeighthour I transit law to forty hours the rule to obtain west of the Missouri river thus applying to the range country the only section where It Is necessary This is a matter which has been much misunderstood misun-derstood by the Eastern humane societies l soci-eties which were instrumental In Securing se-curing the adoption of the twenty elghthour law President Springer ad dresscd many of the more prominent humane societies of the East last spring md made some revelations which caused them to look at the matter very dlflerently The stockmen maintain that the prodding with poles and twisting twist-Ing of tails which falls to the lot of clock when being unloaded causes much more suffering than going forty hours without being unloaded from the cars Stock on the winter ranges In the West frequently go much longer than forty hours without either food or drink This Is a condition which cannot can-not be obviated and which has never caused action on the part of any one The convention will also endeavor to secure acton amending the Interstate commerce act so as to gIo the commission com-mission power to enforce its rulings At present it cannot do this Should the commission rule that a railroad were charging excessive rates the commission com-mission could go no further than giving publicity to the news not having the power to enforce a decision and this condition the convention wants corrected cor-rected The convention will almost certainly take action opposing any proposition looking to the leasing of public lands In certain sections where stock range winter and summer on the same range the proposition Is favored but It Is not believed the advocates of the system have anything near like enough strength to cause the convention to declare I de-clare In favor of the idea |
